about

lyrics

I want to rip you out of my dreams.
'Cause waking up is taunting me.
I know that even if these lucid dreams feel like reality.
They're just the echo of everything that could've been.

And I crave.
And I pray.
And I feel
like...

An insomniac.
The screaming pantomime.
No rest for the wicked.
I suffer for my crimes.
I won't sleep anymore.
Remain mute and therefore
My words won't be heard again
Till you'll come knocking at my door.

Lies - told by the voice inside my mind.
Infinite scenarios.
The outcome remains undefined.
Waiting at the threshold.
Blind and terrified.
Silent, restless and paralized.

An insomniac.
The screaming pantomime.
No rest for the wicked.
I suffer for my crimes.
I won't sleep anymore.
Remain mute and therefore
My words won't be heard again
Till you'll come knocking at my door.

I'm the million stories
inside your tired mind.
I'm the cliffhanger ending.
The flash that keeps you blind.

You cry my name.
But I can't take away your pain.
You'll soon realize that
I will look away in shame.

I'm not here, I never were.
There's been always only you.
I am your fear, the whisperer.
The mirror you always stare into.

I'm the million stories
inside your tired mind.
I'm the cliffhanger ending.
The flash that keeps you blind.

You cry my name.
But I can't take away your pain.
You'll soon realize that
I will look away in shame.
